Dystopia

About the show

Dystopia is a show whose goal is to bring local music to the radio and at the same time teach students how to organize and record a radio show. Students do the booking, mixing, editing, and other management. As we have progressed, we have decided to make each episode genre-specific. This has afforded student organizers the opportunity to do field work in genre-specific local music; it also helps to bridge between the university and surrounding communities by encouraging students to go as deep as possible into the music of a community.We involve community members in the organizing of the show, and when there isn't a student who wants to or feels comfortable doing the interview, a community member will often do the interview. Dystopia airs on 88.5 XPN five times a year, in December, January, May, June, July, and August.
